Stats - I'm sure they are good, but who cares? It has no proc, which is boring for the ultimate weapon of the expansion.Model - Decent, but not what you would want for your orc warrior look, but maybe for some "Old gods" type transmog.Color - Terrible..That light purple/blue color makes it look like a action figure toy. The pink lolipop version is even worse, what...were...they...thinking?Lore - Well, even though I would rather want Gorehowl off Garrosh, they went for the whole Sha thing. I guess it makes sense that the weapon itself has been corrupted (empowered) with the sha as well.Impact - Disappointed that the new gorehowl didnt have a nice, updated model of the original, legendary weapon. But hey, the existing one is good enough for transmog....so yay.

This was one of the best Lore items in the game and Gorrash desecrated his fathers last remaining artifact. there has to be a sweet cinematic to finish the hellscream family off.

Commentaire de CCwow

Too bad Sha forgot to touch that one ...

Commentaire de IhaveNoLife

As an Orc fury warrior, I dearly wish to dual wield this and the original Hurlesang. Let none forget the great deeds of the father, but may they also never forget the terrible deeds of the son.

Commentaire de Tenjen

Garrosh what have you done? You corrupted the very axe that freed the horde of demonic enslavement? the Axe of your redeemed father? Brought another form of enslavement (worse than demons, OLD GODS of all the things) upon it and attempting to bring it to your race? Are actively Undoing what your father did in the last moments of his life to free him and his race from his bonds?

This pissed me off more than digging up the vale. More than blowing up theramore. Those were horrific events perpetrated by him. But THIS. this is the corruption of a symbol, an action and an event that redeemed and freed an entire race. Something that brought a new age for Orcs and the Horde, by the redeemed hands of someone who was the very paragon of demonic enslaved bloodlust, the most cherished creation of the demon who the orc willingly drank the blood of and who reveled in carnage and slaughter but in the end forsook it all for his own and his races freedom, at the cost of his life. And Garrosh corrupted the remaining artifact of this orc, his own father, Grom.

Its corruption is symbolic and representative of just what Garrosh is and why we must fight him.

He. is. Going. DOWN.

You are all wrong.It is clearly a HUNTER WEAPON !

Commentaire de zknm7

Blizzard strongly hinted that the Sha-touched weapons would be making a comeback in the final raid tier, and if this thing isn't Sha-Touched then Shin'ka sure as hell isn't either. Wtf, Blizz? What happened to getting our legendary powers combined at the end of the expac like Captain Planet? I WANT MY 500 STR SOCKET IN THIS MONSTER, plz and thank you. Right nao.

Commentaire de Maleficious

It's happening!

They've actually retconned Karazhan!

If this is what actually happens to Gorehowl, then there's no way for it, in the future, to end up in Karazhan's Netherspace, since in Karazhan it was completely normal, and in the present, it isn't.

Unless of course Thrall does a magical hairflip and *poof* normal Gorehowl. But with it being a player-obtainable, I don't really see how that's possible within the confines of the story. Unless at some point they add a quest to trade in your Corrupted Gorehowl to Thrall so he can cleanse it with the scent of his hair so it can be all shiny when it goes up on the wall in Orgrimmar before mysteriously disappearing and thus, ending up in Karazhan.

Why do I get the feeling that that's what they're actually going to do...

Everyone's raging about how Garrosh could dare corrupt Gorehowl, while I'm sitting here wondering why it doesn't have a sha-touched gem socket.

Commentaire de Mig64

People keep wondering whether Xal'aoth is the true Gorehowl or not. Well, let us face the following facts:1. Garrosh was seen wielding Gorehowl everywhere in Pandaria during the 5.1 questline, the sole exception was during the final quest of the Dominance Offensive/Lion's Landing questline, since you cannot ring a bell with an axe because it would destroy it and, considering this weapon was able to oneshot a twilight dragon in Cataclysm and that Garrosh still destroyed the bell by putting some exta strength to his swing, a single blow of Gorehowl would shatter the Divine Bell.

2. Garrosh is seen wielding it in the 5.4 trailer.

3. Very few people state that he was wielding a copy in the trailer because it didn't have the small red glow in the tip. Most likely an oversight and a very minor detail. Gorehowl may be just a common axe (yes, it is), but Garrosh wouldn't part with something that belonged to his father, this is backed up by the fact that, during the same trailer, the fight between Garrosh and Taran Zhu erupts after the pandaren makes an ill mention of Grommash, making Garrosh roar in anger and attack him recklessly. Thus, Garrosh still cares a lot about his father despite his maddness.

4. He forgot his axe once in a book due to excessive rage, the same book mentioned he would never do it again.

5. Many people think it is a copy because of the "Descrated Image" thing, which, considering Blizzard's general nomenclature to items, can just be a metaphor to state the blade is now just a shadow of its former self. For instance, Sulfuras is called the "Hand of Ragnaros", yet you're not wielding Ragnaros' fist as a mace but his hammer. Another example is the Fangs of the Father daggers, you're wielding a pair of daggers made of Deathwing's jaw not wielding the Black Aspect's teeth themselves.

So, Xal'atoh is just Gorehowl twisted by Garrosh's newfound powers. Since people like speculations, here goes a few:

1. Since Garrosh is so tied to his father's weapon, it is only fitting he'd bless it with the godlike powers he acquired.

2. Xal'atoh can pretty much mean "Gorehowl" (or anything related to it or its wielder, or both) in Faceless or whatever language the Old Gods speak.

Commentaire de Zargan

This isn't the same axe Grom had, it's different. Lor'Themar finds the real one, and idk what this one comes from, but it's not the same.

Commentaire de KelThanaz

Dunno if any of you realized yet but during the fight with Sha of Pride Gorehowl is stuck in the ground...So this is neither corrupted its just a replica of the original axe which has been recreated by Y'sharraj.

Commentaire de Frankminimia

I can confirm rumors that this weapon whispers to you when wielded, as i acquired it today. It does not come up in your chat log and will only be heard if you have game sounds on. I love this weapon. Having 2 of these weapons causes the speech to happen more frequently.

Funny thing, at first i was wondering where is this voice comming from. I though its an addon so i turned off all of them , hoping to find out which addon is. After disabling all of them i heard it again, then i found out that its comming from the weapon.

Commentaire de Zethigar

Contrary to popular belief, this weapon isn't actually Gorehowl; it is just a corrupted copy.In the room with Sha of Pride in the first wing of Siege of Orgrimmar, Lor'themar and Jaina find Gorehowl sitting in the middle of the room.Therefore, Gorehowl isn't Sha-Corrupted!

Commentaire de denisj13

Didn't realize this thing speaks time to time...and I had the 'sound in background' option checked and it creeped the crap out of me when I was quietly web-browsing.

Commentaire de Leechesx

Can anyone confirm if transmogging a weapon to look like this one allows the whispers to continue? I want to use it in pvp and would like the whispers there too ^^

Commentaire de sorsa

"When you walk through the Dark Forest, you will see."

Has anyone tried taking corrupted Gorehowl to the Whispering Forest in Tirisfal Glades?

Commentaire de Nathiest

The voice acting is amazing for this axe. "You should had killed them all"

SICK weapon. I got this on my warrior the first time beating Garrosh!

Commentaire de kellorion

I'd like to see a Warr DW this and Corrupted Ashbringer.

Commentaire de travisgezell

So here is a fun fact, when you have this weapon equipped you will occasionally hear a voice that tells you to do things. Just recently it told me "All shall bow before you. MAKE THEM!" I am fairly certain it is supposed to be the voice of the Sha or something that also made Hellscream go all bat #$%^ crazy.

Commentaire de Skai1013

Does anyone know where to find the sound files for this? So far I've only found the normal things Y'shaarj says during the Garrosh encounter, nothing from what is occasionally said while Xal'atoh is equipped. I'd like to macro some of them to certain abilities.

Commentaire de lostflowers

Gel-ato! Yum Yum :)

Commentaire de Miloscub

I've found scripts to use in-game to play the whispers that this axe randomly does,so you can macro it and have some fun! Note - You do not need the axe to play these sounds,you can just copy/paste the script in the game or make a macro with it!

Commentaire de Zlozla

Very good alternative option for Blood Death Knight since our latest tier has a bit too much expertise on it. If you're an Orc this will give you 1% extra expertise because of which makes it more than a decent alternative for Gar'tok, force du croyant. However an axe has 141 less mastery which is 1.4% of blood shield isn't a big deal really.

Why is Xal'atoh so pixelated in Character screen?

I play 1080p high texture resolution.

Wowhead says that this weapon no longer drops in-game but our guild just downed Garrosh on Heroic and this weapon did indeed drop for us tonight.
